This mighty axe guarantees critical hits on any enemy that’s currently on fire, although it’s significantly weaker against enemies who aren’t.

The Axtinguisher is an unlockable melee weapon for the Pyro class. It is a crudely constructed Fire Axe consisting of a slightly rusted axe-head, stained with blood and wrapped in barbed wire, affixed to a curved wooden handle with a fabric grip and a splintered end.

Compared to the stock Fire Axe, the Axtinguisher deals 33% less damage, possesses a 75% slower switch-to speed, 20% slower attack speed, and does not roll for random critical hits. While attacking targets that are on fire, however, it is guaranteed to deal critical damage.

The Axtinguisher is automatically given to any player who obtains 22 Pyro achievements.
